Quinetic switches etc

Already fitted one of these for some LED strip in a kitchen when it was added post-kitchen-fit as an afterthought and it works well.

There is now a proposal to fit another to control a light fitting in another room. The requirement is for a stone 'feature wall' to be left uncovered so no cables down wall please - doncha just lurve these cushion throwers!

Question is, how to make the two switches in adjacent rooms not turn each others lights on? I don't recall seeing any DIP switches to swap operating frequencies on the previous switch I fitted, hence the query.

Comments welcome

Each wall switch or fob emits a unique chirp ' I am switch no.199 , I am switch no 77 ' etc.

Earch receiver will change the state of it's relay contacts, on reception of any of the switch identities it has been programmed with. (which may for example be 199 and 77 in one case, 77 on its own for another but 199 and 33 in another, and 1026 in a third.)

They all transmit on the same frequency, but the chirps of data are very short, so collision is unlikely.
